Flu vaccine still available at Iroquois County Public Health Department

More than 900,000 were hospitalized.

NPs also educate patients that the flu vaccine does not cause the flu. The decrease in the number of people getting an annual flu shot may be contributing to more people getting the flu. More serious adverse events are rare. Heather Holland, a 38-year-old teacher and mother from North Texas, died of the flu in February.

The flu shot actually serves two purposes: you're protecting yourself and others in the community, especially those who are vulnerable to flu complications. The infection spreads when a person comes into contact with droplets from an infected person who coughs or sneezes.

"It's nicer to get it done a little earlier in the season so that you're protected a little earlier, but it is absolutely not too late to get it". The vaccine uses a killed virus, and every batch is checked to ensure this.

Flu season generally begins in the fall and lasts through March. This is a particularly virulent, shape-shifting strain that can mutate even while the vaccine is being incubated in eggs. What's more, the so-called seasonal vaccine isn't particularly effective, with only 20% to 60% of people who receive it dodging illness because their immune systems have been properly trained. And do it with confidence - the vaccine is safe, you can't get flu from the vaccine. "More people simply want to be vaccinated", she told news agency TT.
